SETUP

​ In this device we want to install some packages with help of SDK manager then we are
able to use the actual works of the TX2.

​ Steps involve installing packages.

●​ Ubuntu OS: SDK needs Ubuntu 18 to run properly. And you should update and
upgrade the ubuntu system from your current version.
●​ Download SDK Manager: https://developer.nvidia.com/sdk-manager vai this link
create an account and download SDK manager.
●​ Install SDK Manager: installation of the SDK Manager is the next step and open
the SDK manager using installed icon or vai terminal
●​ Give the ip address of the tx2 using ifconfig.
●​ Wait for the installation….

Opening TX2

●​ Turn on tx2 and update and upgrade the tx2 system from your current version.
●​ Try to open the camera [camera type: CSI camera].
●​ Access the fan settings via the PWM interface.​
sudo -i​
echo 255 > /sys/devices/pwm-fan/target_pwm
